It's amazing how often the Shames-o-matic prediction meter is correct. Over the weekend it predicted not only that Barbaro wouldn't win the Preakness but that Bernadini would. This just a few weeks after going against the grain and predicting that USC Rb Reggie Bush would not go #1 in the NFL draft.
Then last night it was right on the money again in calling that the game seven between the Spurs and Mavericks would go into overtime. If for nothing else, just to screw over the NBA for scheduling two game seven's in succession with the latter starting at 10:30 est. And that prediction by the way was made before the game even started and not with the score tied and one second left on the clock.
With the meter working overtime lately I thought now would be a good time to make a public prediction this time involving the NBA draft lottery to be held tuesday night at 730 before the Heat and Pistons tip off. And that prediction is that the New York Knicks will wind up with the #1 pick in the draft.
They didn't have the worst record in the league last year so they won't even have the most number of chances to acquire the pick but I'm pretty sure that they'll get it. After all, how can you have a laughing stock of the sports world without a punch line? And there would be no better punch line than the Knicks finally getting the number one overall pick in a year in which they don't even get to keep it since Chicago owns it from the Eddy Curry trade. With that in mind it's pretty much guaranteed that the Knicks will get the #1 pick and that whomever it is will become a perennial all star. How guys like Isiah Thomas and Matt Millen still have jobs is beyond me.
